At A Better Dog Home Dog Training, all of our dog training methods are humane and dog-friendly.
We will never use pain or physical punishment to train your dog. We also do not expect our owners to
rely on clickers or shock collars or barking at their dog. We expect our dogs to respond to their owner's
verbal and physical commands, not to a device or a negative stimulus.
Our Dog Training Methods
Our dog training methodology is incredibly effective because we have based it on over ten years of
successful results. We've learned with every dog that we've trained.
Our Ahwatukee dog trainers are not limited to old-fashioned methods that we are required to use
because of a corporate mandate.
We work with dogs and their owners. A dog that responds to a dog trainer, but not the owner, is not a
successfully trained dog.
When we teach an owner to train their dog, it is very important to us to communicate the "why" behind
the methods. You can teach mechanics all day long, but if the person performing the sessions doesn't
understand why they are doing the work, the work may not be done effectively. We teach you how and
why training methods work with your dog.
We also understand that not every method works with every dog.
Our program is very fluid. We take the time to evaluate your
dog's drive and temperament and then tailor a
program to develop their personality
into that of a well-adjusted,
confident dog.
Most important, we put you in charge of your
dog. We will show you how to train your dog
and how to become the leader in your dog's
eyes. You can throw obedience and correction
commands at your dog all day long, but if he
does not view you as his leader, then he is
ultimately making the decision on whether or
not he obeys those commands.
Strong leadership feeds your dog's self confidence
and security. The more that they trust their owner as
their leader, the fewer behavioral problems they will
have as they grow. We will show you how to be a
strong leader for your dog.
Through our program and our teachings, you will
learn how to control your dog and teach your dog
to look to you for his cues on how to behave. A
dog that is under your control is a dog that you
can be proud of and count on every day. We'll
help you get there.
Our Dog Training Pricing
Our Dog Training Programs
Our pricing is determined by your dog's specific
problems and your training goals. We do not use
a "cookie-cutter" method for quoting prices to our
customers.
Our programs have been developed for busy
people who don't have hours every day to
dedicate to their dog training.
When you work with A Better Dog, you will
receive multiple in-home sessions and unlimited telephone and email support for your questions between sessions.
We will take the time to discuss your dog's
problems and we will work with you to develop a
training plan to meet your training goals.
